Chipotle, Boston Market, Cafe East III, Applebees, Red Lobster, Outback, Kolache Factory. Kolache F is actually looking for franchise deals. I tried to launch my business ideas by buying one but the cost scared me, so I went back to my old position-a weekly customer.

...and Walgreens opposite them. I've got some more: ...Pearland and Sugar Land eyeing 100,000 ...all hospitals expanding, outside med center ...new sub Ds opening and parks getting more people too.

I was raised in Africa where football rules- I mean the one you play with your legs. We learn other sports in high school. Basketball is one of them, baseball is not, American style football is not. I cheer Astros because everyone at work is crazy about them, and I like to be a proper Houstoninan. I play basketball sometimes but don't even know how baseball is scored...

TMC needs a good daycare that will cater for kids from 6 months up. I wish someone can open a good daycare in the area. It will be a goldmine. Some of those hospitals can even patner them for employee discounts, paycheck deduction etc., like they do with Bright Horizons in downtown right now. My wife and I both work in TMC and have been looking for a daycare for our girl since Dec 06. The Montessori is not pocket-friendly to us. We're not so pressed because she goes to a home in our subdivision, but older woman just want the luxury of sneaking out to check on the lil' one.

Swimming in that lake is bad. Please let's stop it at that and let's not get personal. I live in surburbia Manvel and have visited the park twice. We dined downtown on one of those visits. My wife can't have enough of the park. By the way we lived in SW part for 3 years and never visited DT. Great to have something to cheer downtown apart from the Rockets.

Yep...few more years for more subdivisions to open up and more residents move in. But with the drag in economy/real estate, it might be a little longer or even grounded permanently.
